HICKORY, NC – February 10, 2015 – US Conec, a global leader in the design and development of high-density optical interconnects, announces the release of the new 900 micron MTP® connector solution, supporting direct coupling to 900 micron loose or tight buffered fibers. Combining novel transition components with US Conec’s MTP® brand connector, the 900 micron MTP® kit delivers reliable termination, ensuring ample fiber movement and superior cable management. The transition components can also be used independently from the connector, resulting in an ultra-compact ribbon fiber to a 900 micron breakout kit for factory or field installation.
The unique 900 micron MTP® connector design facilitates multiple assembly techniques through which pre-terminated, loose, or tight buffered single fiber pigtails can be directly terminated into the MTP® connector hardware. Conversely, loose 900 micron buffer tubes can be furcated over an MTP® ribbon connector pigtail which has been ‘fanned out’ into individual 250 micron coated fibers. The 900 micron MTP® connector kit mechanically couples the buffer tubes, eliminating the need for epoxy in the critical cable exit portion of the connector.
